Hahaha thanks mate! ;)
I'm not very confident with combining P. typus with my shelldwellers.
But I must say I am truely charmed by them aswell ;)

It makes a lot of sense my friend ;)
Thanks!

I know and I totally agree with you my friend ;)
But it was mearly a guess of mine ;)

Thanks Richard for the info.
If I decide to add some brevi's in my tank I'll make sure it's the brevi and not the other one ;)
Is there such a big difference between those two species?

Looking at the species in the tank I'm guessing there might be a little salt in this tank: Tanganyika Mastacembelus, L. brevispinnis, P. typus, N. brevis (Tanganyiak shelldweller), Stiphodon(gobies), Mudskipper, a small frog and some other , for me unknown, goby species.

An unrelated species sometimes known by the name threadfin, Alectis indicus, is...

Obviously I will make sure there will be enough spaces for the little critters to hide. I'll try to create a Tang catfishheaven for them :wink: :lol: My biggest 'worry' is.. wouldn't my S. lucipinis 'overrule' the L. brevispinis with his behaviour? The latter seems to be such a calm species. So I'm ...

Is there a possibility to combine S. lucipinnis with L. brevispinis or maybe P. typus in one tank?
In a natural Tanganyika tank that is ;)

Indeed it seems to be a Polynemus species, thanks!!
Nice fish indeed ;)

I was just searching the internet for some pics of Lophiobagrus brevispinis and I stumbled into this pic. Does anybody have an idea of what kind of fish is beside the P. typus? I'm guessing it's an Azian catfish, but which one......??? http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac1/tijn79/rarities/Phyllonem...
